In connection with the acquisition of a majority stake in Groupe Routin by Argos Wityu, De Pardieu has advised Crédit Mutuel Equity and UI Investissement, company’s minority shareholders, which will reinvest alongside Argos Wityu in this transaction.
Groupe Routin is a French-based manufacturer of high-end syrups and ingredients for creative drinks. Founded more than 140 years ago (in 1883), the company has built its reputation on a wealth of local know-how, agility and a high level of service to its customers in 84 countries. With its strong “art de vivre” identity, Groupe Routin is the pioneer of the “Drink Design®” movement, putting its expertise at the service of creativity and taste experiences. The company employs more than 240 people, and its revenues exceeded €115M in 2023.
With the support of Argos Wityu, Crédit Mutuel Equity and UI Investissement as minority shareholders, the group will pursue its international development, particularly in the United-States. At the same time, in line with Argos Climate Action’s purpose, a special emphasis will be made on accelerating its already active and progressive environmental transition.
